[QUOTE="volusia799, post: 415938, member: 11488"] Update: son left a message on my voicemail (I'm at work). "Uumm Dad (monotone voice) sorry I didnt call you earlier, but I got out of jail this morning. Sorry for all the stress from yesterday. I'll call you tomorrow." Yippee...can't wait for that call (sarcasm). The detachment thing is a subject thatI talked to my wife about. It seems so difficult to compartmentalize that aspect of my life. As a guy, I find it very easy to compartmentalize almost everything. Something may bother me one minute and 10 minutes later, it's gone, or in that little box somewhere in my head. But to try and dismiss my son, to block out all of the harm that he is self-inducing, to think of him taking drugs that may lead to something very bad, I don't know how to detach from that. I keep thinking that this is just a phase. I went through a similiar phase, but it was out of my system by the time I was 20 yrs old. Well, heres waiting for his phone call.... "uuuhhh hi dad, can you send me more $$?!" [/QUOTE]
